Paper recommendations

Loading paper in the main unit tray

• Insert paper with the face down, and adjust paper guides to the paper format to avoid feed failure, skewing, and

paper jams.

• Amount of loaded paper must not exceed the loading mark. If the loading mark is exceeded, this may cause feed

failure, skewing, and paper jams.

• Adding paper in the pile must be avoided because it may cause double feeding.

• When withdrawing the cassette from the main unit, always support it with both hands to avoid dropping it.

• If you use paper already printed by your machine or another printer, the printing quality may not be optimal.

Handling of paper

• Curling must be corrected before printing.

• Curls must not exceed 10 mm.

• Care must be taken with storage to prevent feed faults and image defects due to leaving the paper in conditions of

high humidity.

Humidity control

• Paper which has become damp, or paper which has been left unused for a very long time, must not be used.

• After opening the paper, it must be kept in a plastic bag.

• Paper with waved ends, paper which is creased, paper with crumples, and any other non-normal paper must not

be used.
